What is a State Innovation Model Grant?

SIM grants are awarded by the federal government through the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) Innovation center. Grants are awarded to states that have demonstrated a commitment to developing and implementing multi-payer health care payment and service delivery models that will:

Connecticut awarded a $45 million test grant in December 2014 which will be implemented over the next five years.

VBID Landscape in Connecticut

42

Page 43: Connecticut SIM VBID Consortium Meeting: …...•Employer-led Consortium: peer-to-peer sharing of best practices •Prototype VBID Designs: using latest evidence, to make it easy

V-BID Principles

Clinical Nuance:

1) Medical services differ in the amount of health produced

2) Clinical benefit derived from specific service depends on the consumer using it

With a Value-Based Insurance Design, consumer cost-sharing level is based on clinical benefit – not acquisition price – of the service

• Reduces or eliminates financial barriers to high-value clinical services and providers

43

Page 44: Connecticut SIM VBID Consortium Meeting: …...•Employer-led Consortium: peer-to-peer sharing of best practices •Prototype VBID Designs: using latest evidence, to make it easy

V-BID Principles

An effective V-BID plan uses carrots and sticks

• Reduce barriers to high value services

• Preventive care screenings

• Chronic condition treatment

• Reduce prescription drug co-pays

• Members maintain medical choice

• Personal autonomy key union value

44

Page 45: Connecticut SIM VBID Consortium Meeting: …...•Employer-led Consortium: peer-to-peer sharing of best practices •Prototype VBID Designs: using latest evidence, to make it easy

Connecticut’s Health Enhancement Program (HEP)

• Joint Labor/Management Healthcare Cost Containment Committee

• Between 2007-2011 HCCCC discussed Value Based Purchasing and Value Based Insurance Design

• In 2010 the state required ASOs to enter Patient Centered Medical Home arrangements to improve healthcare delivery and lower costs

• Labor members of HCCCC explored VBID to increase member engagement and lower costs

• In 2011, Malloy administration took office with a $3.8B deficit–Administration proposed savings through traditional cost shifting

– Labor coalition countered with VBID proposal to make employees healthier

– Labor proposal turned win/loss fight to win/win

45

Page 46: Connecticut SIM VBID Consortium Meeting: …...•Employer-led Consortium: peer-to-peer sharing of best practices •Prototype VBID Designs: using latest evidence, to make it easy

HEP

Targets preventive care and chronic disease through:

• Voluntary enrollment for employees

• Required age appropriate preventive screenings and care

• Lower co-pays for medications/care associated with five chronic diseases and conditions

• Chronic disease management education program

Lowers costs for participating/compliant employees by:

• Waiving co-pays for preventive care and chronic disease management

• Reducing monthly premium share ($100 per month)

About the Project

47

Page 48: Connecticut SIM VBID Consortium Meeting: …...•Employer-led Consortium: peer-to-peer sharing of best practices •Prototype VBID Designs: using latest evidence, to make it easy

Goal

This initiative aims to increase uptake of V-BID in Connecticut

by developing a V-BID prototype of recommended practices and plans,

with strategies and tools to select and promote V-BID plans

48

Page 49: Connecticut SIM VBID Consortium Meeting: …...•Employer-led Consortium: peer-to-peer sharing of best practices •Prototype VBID Designs: using latest evidence, to make it easy

Deliverables

1. Assess and index V-BID models both in Connecticut and nationally

2. Make recommendations for the best models for Connecticut markets

3. Develop templates and employer guidance for recommended content of a V-BID benefit plan that is applicable to self and fully-insured employers, and public and private exchanges

4. A web-based V-BID Toolkit for employers

5. Targeted communications materials for employers and consumers

6. Disseminate best practices through V-BID Learning Collaborative

49

Page 50: Connecticut SIM VBID Consortium Meeting: …...•Employer-led Consortium: peer-to-peer sharing of best practices •Prototype VBID Designs: using latest evidence, to make it easy

What Does a Model V-BID Plan Look Like?

52

Page 53: Connecticut SIM VBID Consortium Meeting: …...•Employer-led Consortium: peer-to-peer sharing of best practices •Prototype VBID Designs: using latest evidence, to make it easy

Building a Framework for V-BID Assessment

Purpose of assessment framework: • To guide recommendations of value based insurance design concepts to

be adopted by employers, health plans and exchanges as part of VBID plan templates for various Connecticut market segments

Concepts Adapted from CMS Medicare Advantage Model• 5 year demonstration program for state grantees

• Testing utility of structuring consumer cost-sharing and other health plan design elements to encourage patients to use high value services and providers

53

Page 54: Connecticut SIM VBID Consortium Meeting: …...•Employer-led Consortium: peer-to-peer sharing of best practices •Prototype VBID Designs: using latest evidence, to make it easy

V-BID Concepts

V-BID Concept Reduced cost sharing for high value services and drugs

Purpose Encourage healthy patient choices; Encourage use of high value, evidence-based services and treatments

Leverage point Patient-based: clinically nuanced

Examples Waive copay for biennial colonoscopy in ulcerative colitis (nuanced)

54

V-BID Concept Increased cost sharing for low value services and drugs

Purpose Discourage unhealthy patient choices; Discourage use of low value services and treatments

Leverage point Patient-based: clinically nuanced

Examples Increase co-pay on inappropriate imaging for acute low back pain

Page 55: Connecticut SIM VBID Consortium Meeting: …...•Employer-led Consortium: peer-to-peer sharing of best practices •Prototype VBID Designs: using latest evidence, to make it easy

V-BID Concepts

VBID Concept Reduced cost sharing for high value providersPurpose Encourage healthy patient choices. Encourage prudent provider practice.

Leverage point Patient-based: clinically nuancedProvider-based: specialty, affiliation, or past behavior

Examples Lower copay if MD affiliated with high-performing ACO (tiering).

57

Page 58: Connecticut SIM VBID Consortium Meeting: …...•Employer-led Consortium: peer-to-peer sharing of best practices •Prototype VBID Designs: using latest evidence, to make it easy

Building a Framework for V-BID Assessment

How are VBID concepts implemented in health plan design? Consider:

1. Are VBID concepts present?

2. What percent of members do they apply to?

3. What percent of spending do they apply to?

4. What percent of conditions do they apply to?

5. How strong are the incentives (e.g., how big is cost differential)?

6. How closely targeted (how close to Evidence Based Medicine)?

7. How easy is it to implement?

8. Are the outcomes/impact measurable?

9. Are the outcomes/impact significant?
